-
- A recent thread in another newsgroup has aroused some interest. Lately there
- has been a small debate around the interpretation of the following phrase,
- ostensibly taken from the DWP:
-
- A reference shall be initialized to refer to a valid object or function.
-
- One party claims that valid object means initialized object while another
- claims that all is required is that the object have a valid address.
-
- Does the DWP make it clear which interpretation should be used?
